First, let me introduce myself. I'm Kim. I'm in my mid-40s. I teach preschool for children with low incidence disabilities such as non-verbal autism and severe developmental delays.

My sister has not been to Disneyland in over 20 years! She normally HATES theme parks, but really wants to try out the DCA Food & Wine Festival because she's a total foodie person. She was really funny when she proposed this trip to us. She said, "Did you know that DCA has a food...

But I might be planning another trip to happen within the next month! Once I got home and had such a great time, my husband has been a little jealous and wanting to go. Only two problems with this: $$$ and the-five-children-we-have-that-someone-has-to-watch. Especially the 15-month-old, who is a little high maintenance, and doesn't get that excited about us even going on date nights sometimes....

They say 'time flies when you're having fun' and after returning from our trip, I sure can vouch for that! Our 10 day trip to LA area and Disneyland felt more like 4 days max. I'm a planner, and started the planning this trip a year ago and then bam, it's over. But of course not complaining, that means that all went smooth and we had a blast! Here is a link to my pre-report:...

1) do you leave the park and come back with your costume on? Or bring it with in a back pack?
2) what does the Halloween extra ticket all include. Nothing I can find straight out says!
3) are all rides still open? I saw there’s trick or treating, a parade is that all?
4) is it worth it?

I am SOOOO excited to finally start this Trip Report! (I’ve been waiting about 16 months to do so, as I finished up prior reports.) As some of you may know, we are a family of Disney World veterans, but had the opportunity to tack a Disneyland trip onto my husband's work retreat in Palm Springs, CA. We had a fantastic time, as you may gather from the title, and we are pretty much dying to go back (but, alas, too...

I'm Mike and I'm returning to the Boards after too long a hiatus. Our last family trip was waaaayyyy back in 2012 to WDW and Universal Orlando. We had an amazing time, but being west-coasters that time came with a pretty hefty price-tag. Add to that some unexpected medical expenses and we've spent the past 5...

This is my first trip report, as I am relatively new to the boards and recently re-inspired by Disney! I have been to WDW 3 times (ages 5, 9, 20). I am 22 years old. Between ages 9-20, I never really thought about the parks (still loved Disney in general), but that trip when I was 20 really ignited the flame inside me again. After the last trip, all I could think about was another Disney trip. I started watching/listening to the DIS Unplugged and their constant talking about...

Our Disney part of our trip consisted of visiting a few places that where magic occurred that helped make Disneyland what it is. We also spent a fabulous 4 days in the parks!...
